Amit Shah also talked about the problem of illegal infiltration from Bangladesh to Bengal, and asked the gathered crowd whether it should be stopped or not. He further asked whether the oppressed minorities who have come to India should be given citizenship or not (referring to CAA).
The Home Minister said that Mamata Banerjee welcomes illegal immigrants because they are her vote bank, but has a problem if oppressed minorities are given Indian citizenship. Amit Shah also highlighted that opposition leaders didn’t come for Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha because they were concerned about offending their vote bank of illegal immigrants.
Lok Sabha elections in Bengal are taking place in all 7 phases, with the next round set to take place on May 13.
